DPS calculation website

A bit of necro, but I am interested, if you are planning to adjust site for last changes for THF (Remove glancing blows, introduce strikethrough)

I also have a question. Why Bear have static 14 BAB??

Hi Seljuck

I can't promise anything but i'll see if i have time to update it soon. I will post it here if and when i make the changes... Give me a couple of weeks.

With regards to the static BAB i can't remember but if you look at the link for the bear analysis i am sure you find the answer.

Thanks Ultinoob. I am looking forward to it.

Thanks Ultinoob. I am looking forward to it.

I did the updates you asked for. I did not check it for bugs but it should work. let me know if you find a bug.

Are there any big changes since this was last updated?

[Ultinoob]

I haven't updated anything in a long time on that site so to be honest i am not sure if it still usefull.

The things that should still be accurate is all the things that have nothing to do with attack speed: Melee power, crit range and chance, base damage and so on.

What i am unsure about if the data sets i used for calculating attack speed are still valid. This means based on BAB and alacrity. So your damage per attack should be accurate but probably not your dps.

I believe they changed some things about bows and throwing weapons which would make the data sets for those invalid or at best a good guess.

If anybody are willing to make new data sets or tell me what needs updating on the site i'd be happy to update it... But i need a little help.

Another thing is i have been thinking about taking it down. This is due to the costs of having that site. But if people use it it seems stupid to take it down. Maybe i could make a donate button or do commercials on the site.

What do you guys think?

[Ultinoob]

Not taking it down. The site has between 10 and 20 visiters per day for over a year now. So this means people are using it. So it would be a shame to take it down.

It costs me about 250 usd a year to have that website and with 10,000 visiters per year that makes 0,025 usd per visit. Not all people have the money to pay. and would people pay?

What do you think?

[Brac]

The site is definitely useful. If it could be updated, that would be great. People are cheap, it is hard to tell if they would pay enough between all the people using it to offset the cost. If you know how, allowing advertising may be one of the easiest ways. Another idea is maybe having a yearly update fundraiser? People want an easy to use, current DPS calculator, and you don't want to be out of pocket. If you had a donation space on the page with a goal of $250 each year to pay for the site and incentivize you to keep it updated, people would know how much is needed to keep the page going and you would know if there is enough real demand. I have used it and wouldn't mind donating $5-$10 per year myself, but I do not know how many others would.
